Were thrilled to present Aphelion, DONT NODs newly announced sci-fi action-adventure game!

Set in a near-future where Earth faces collapse, Aphelion is an emotional journey to the edge of our Solar System to survey a planet that may be humanitys last hope. Our latest tale follows two European Space Agency astronauts: Ariane Montclair and Thomas Cross. Following their crash landing on the uncharted planet Persephone, they must brave harsh landscapes, master survival tools, gather crucial information, and navigate reality-bending phenomena in a desperate mission to reunite.

Check out the reveal trailer:

Aphelion blends our signature emotional storytelling with immersive exploration and traversal, mystery, and tense stealth gameplay. What begins as a totally compromised mission becomes an adventure into the unknown. As you explore the frozen world of Persephone, youll gather information on the planets strange conditions and what couldve caused the crash of Ariane and Thomass ship, the Hope 01.

A game in collaboration with the European Space Agency

Were also super honored to announce that the game is developed in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA)! Ariane and Thomas are both ESA astronauts, part of the fictional Hope 01 mission to survey a new potential home for humanity. Were grounding our depiction of space exploration in real scientific knowledge and humanistic values. This very cool collaboration weaves authentic elements of space science into the emotional core of the game.

After all, this isnt just a game about a planet. Its a very human tale of how we behave when all hope is lost, and what keeps us going.

Aphelion will launch in 2026 but you can wishlist it right now!
